Texans trade pass-rusher Shaq Lawson to Jets
The New York Jets are acquiring Houston Texans pass rusher Shaq Lawson, agreeing to a trade to help fill the void created by the Carl Lawson injury.
New York found itself in the market for an edge defender since Lawson, its prized free-agent addition, tore his Achilles during practice. After exploring trades with several teams, the Jets struck a deal with the Texans on Sunday afternoon.
The deal, reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, comes just days after rumors surfaced that Lawson was one of the most discussed trade candidates around the NFL.
